He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

Aides to Supervisor Mark Farrell, the lead sponsor of the measure, say he wants more time to talk to tenants' rights groups about the proposal, which they oppose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, a San Francisco Board of Supervisors committee is expected to talk again about an ordinance that would relax the rules under which people who own tenancy-in-common homes, or TICs, get to convert them to condominiums. Tenants’ rights activists are fighting the proposal, saying it will fuel real estate speculation and sweep affordable rent-controlled housing off the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Denike is one of those the ordinance is designed to help. He has a beautiful tenancy-in-common home in the Castro. From his windows you can see Twin Peaks, the Bay Bridge, and the high-rise towers of the Financial District. Denike says he used all his savings to buy the flat in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the time it was a really expensive place,\" Denike says. \"It was way above my ability to really afford it.

Not all banks will finance a TIC, and those who do insist on adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs).\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I was a little naïve in hindsight,' a TIC buyer says.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There were a lot of people like Denike who bought TICs during the housing boom. About 2,500 San Francisco units were sold as part of TICs between 2002 and 2007. Some early buyers flipped their TICs to condos and made hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Denike says his agent told him he'd be able to quickly convert his unit to a condo. \"I was a little naïve in hindsight,\" he says. \"They said move in, in three years you will condo-convert, and everything will be great.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everything is not great. San Francisco only allows 200 TICs to convert to condos a year, chosen through a lottery. Now there’s a backlog of about 2,000 units whose owners would like to convert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Denike has lost 40 percent of his equity. And because TICs have adjustable-rate mortgages, his payments have ballooned. The only good way out for him is to condo-convert and get a fixed-rate mortgage. \"How much longer do I have to live in my unit before I can refinance into a stable mortgage?\" he asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed legislation would be a one-time fix to bail out these backlogged TIC owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tenants' rights advocates say the measure will bring on another wave of real estate speculation. And that would mean pressure on tenants like Jack Rikas and his wife Juliette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've rented a three-bedroom Victorian in the Upper Haight for 27 years.

Now there’s a backlog of about 2,000 units whose owners would like to convert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Denike has lost 40 percent of his equity.
